From a young age writing helped me get my point across, or helped me in remembering important times. Through writing, I spoke my mind without a syllable leaving my mouth. This non-verbal interaction was a blessing that I was grateful for. From a young age, I loathed speaking in front of people, I still do but not to that extent. Why did I hate it so much? From around second grade to sixth grade, I took speech therapy for stuttering, combined with stage fright and you can see why I hated talking in
thoughts while I am reading. In writing I have learned how to organize my sentences in the text and to avoid writing too much just to make my essay longer. In speaking and listening, I learned not to speak swallowing words and also about maintaining a good posture while presenting a project. I would say that some of my success in my work is that now I know how to order my ideas in my essays and read carefully to fully understand the text. My limitation is on writing, when it comes to grammar, since
English, but I don't know how to get out of it. The worse part of is all is the loss of my favorite reading spot (a nice little spot outside of S211); I've tried a few new ones to replace it but they don't have the same mystique. I figured reading or writing would help the situation but I can't bring myself to either. (I've started two posts and have carried my Faulkner around religiously but neither have I had the wherewithal to really delve into.) I keep telling myself that I'm being ridiculous--which
As the years continue to pass, writing gains more importance and becomes unavoidable in our daily lives. Whether the task is to create a groundbreaking law or to verify one’s personal identity, one must write it down in ink or type it out on a computer. For me, writing has settled down as an important aspect of my life. If I’m not typing down an email for my classes or composing another article for the newsletter committee at my high school, I’m writing down the fictional stories that wander around
From an early age, I’ve had trouble with writing effectively. I had absolutely no interest in learning to write, which was mostly because of how difficult it was to me. Often, I found it boring. As I got older, I found interest in music and poetry, sparking my interest to learn to write like musicians and poets. Up until that point, I had always been writing papers for school, often to write research papers or to write forced narratives. I never wrote anything for myself until about junior year in
Ever since I was an even littler child, I have always found a way to cope with the world, in happiness, sadness, and anger, through writing and reading. Growing up in a difficult position, it was considered amazing to have an outlet for when things got especially tough. I would read until my eyes became blurry of exhaustion and write until my right ring finger bore the blister of a determined kid- writer. My reading mainly consisted of books above the level of an elementary student and, to this day
I can't believe this is only my 3rd post. I have truly done an awful job at updating this. I meant to write these posts bi-weekly, but instead I've failed to get them done on even a monthly basis. Oh well. If not updating my blog is my biggest regret sense being here, I can live with that. Indeed, I think it is my biggest regret. Perhaps I could've seen more, perhaps I could've spent more afternoons in Regents Park, but I might've done a thousand things more and still have felt as satisfied as I
always been full of stories. Countless hours have been spent filling notebooks and the internet with my deepest thoughts. Tales to compel laughter in children, articles addressing the insecurities of young women, and my personal narratives seem to flow through my fingers. Writing is a never-ending reservoir of possibility. However, I was not always so eager to reveal my untold stories. Crafting sentences was uninteresting and a chore to my young self. My mother noticed this view and decided to give
Every person has their own viewpoint of what a good writing is. Usually, high school students are not so able to cope up with the college life, leaving aside homework’s and time management. The most crucial view on it would be the writing skills because homework’s are important. For writing well at a college freshman level is to put ideas and thesis simple yet clear and let your head out. Usually, writings become difficult when we do not know about our audience. First and foremost the audience for
profession, if you don't keep working, then you will remain complacent. A year ago, I thought writing was one of those things where I would just be complacent in. Not because I didn’t wanted to work harder at it, but because I thought of writing as one of those skills that came natural to you, or you did not have it at all. I always wanted my writing to improve but never knew how. When I worked harder on writing assignments in highschool, I would turn in my essay and later receive a grade that was lower
